And because they tend to cancel each other out - due to a fear of losing. There's so much at stake.
Brazil/Germany (1-7) was extraordinary. Brazil are going through a lean period, in terms of real talent - and the Germans punched well above their weight.
Tonight two of the best meet (Robben and Messi) in Hollany v Argentina. As you say JK, probably penalties.

What was even odder was that nearly all the other games (and I'll bet tonight's) ended a draw and penalty shoot outs. Why? Because most teams, by this phase, are pretty equal.

The Netherlands have massive egos. To hell with them.(Apart from Dirk Kuyt, who is a great guy and a boon to any side.) Germany all the way - brilliantly coached, dynamic and intelligent. What a relief to see Brazil, the most over-hyped team of all time, bombed out. They've been a bore to watch since the wonderful 1982 team. Now maybe all of that 'samba football' nonsense fade away.

but I love the idea of an all European final - in South America - with Germany playing (and being beaten by) little Holland.
